ULTRASEAL AMERICA INC APPOINTS NEW SALES MANAGER

Ultraseal America Inc, the global leader in sealants that reliably and permanently seal porosity in
castings, has appointed a new Sales Manager.

Mark Vance is joining the team to ensure that Ultraseal maintains its global leadership position in
the US for its range of conventional and recyclable sealants and associated impregnation equipment.

From his first job running an impregnation system in a process center, Mark has built up 25 years
experience of the Adhesives and Sealants industry, with extensive experience in sales and coaching
sales professionals.

Mark said: It was clear after some thorough research that Ultraseal is the Global technology leader
in its field so I am delighted to be joining the company.

I will be bringing these leading technologies to US manufacturers to improve the reliability of
customers products while reducing their manufacturing and warranty costs.

His job is a new position for Ultraseal America, Inc, part of Ultraseal International, the company
that has led the field for more than 40 years in impregnation sealants and associated equipment.

Ultraseal produces three of only a handful of sealants that are certified to the US Military
specification US MIL-I-17563C (Class 1 and 3). They are Ultraseal MX2 and the best-in-class
recyclable sealant Rexeal 100, and conventional PC504/66 which has global approvals and
specifications.

Sealants are widely used in the automotive supply chain worldwide, especially for parts such as
engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmissions etc that have to operate under pressure and which
could fail if they leaked.

Marks commitment to helping people extends beyond his day job. He is active in his local church,
mentors young people from challenging backgrounds and officiates at youth basketball and
volleyball. He plays golf in his spare time.

ABSTRACT

MATERIALS SCIENCE

ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY HEALTH CARE
Carmen Daniela DOMNARIU, Mihaela CERNUC-
MIARIU, Minerva BOITAN
.............................................................................................................5
Key words: health care, culture, organization, patient, quality
Abstract: Organizational culture in health care systems has gained
increased consideration as an important factor influencing the
quality of health care. It is related to the performance of health care
units, job satisfaction and implicitly, to clinical effectiveness.(1) The
relevance and importance of organizational culture in supporting
quality health care are highlighted through a series of structural
aspects at the level of an organization under the form of types of
management and human factors. The health care system places the
patient in its centre and the major aim of any health care service
provider is to ensure the patients a corresponding level of health and
safety. The organizational culture in health systems is closely related
to the culture of safety. Safety, good communication, good
management styles and good working relationships among the
members of a health organization are prerequisites to deliver high-
quality health services.

BEHAVIOR OF PHOTO - POLYMERISABLE COMPOSITES
SURFACES, USED IN RESTORATION ODONTOTHERAPY
Gabriela BOA, Andreea Angela TEIU, Mircea TEIU,
Mihaela CERNUC-MIARIU
.............................................................................................................8
Key words: composites, roughness, finishing
Abstract: The work studies the roughness of the composite materials
surfaces used in dental restorations. The importance to know the
behaviour of the composite materials after mechanical finishing has
a real impact on the restorations reliability, as well as in stopping
the apparition of the secondary pathology. The same behavior of the
same material on different regimes imposes the dentist to know the
limits and the finishing regime he has chosen for the best result. The
life of a restoration with composite materials is translated through
the unaltered preservation of the chromatic aspects, the preservation
of a correct side closing, without micro spaces between the
obturation and the dental preparation; the assurance of finest
surfaces possible, to avoid the formation of microbial deposits and,
last but not least, the conferring of a functional and stable
morphology, during time, to the obturation-tooth ensemble. The after
finishing surfaces state is responsible for the time preservation of the
colour as well as for the stopping or favouring of bacterial plaque
deposits, implicitly the appearance of the periodontal pathology
appearance. This work is an alert for the dentist concerning the
importance of restoration works finishing and we give practical
solutions for different composite materials.

LASERS IN THE TREATMENT OF CARIOUS LESIONS
Dana Cristina BODNAR, Traian BODNAR
...........................................................................................................14
Key words: laser, DIAGNOdent, ablation, prevention
Abstract: In recent decades,conservative treatmentin odontology has
evolved spectacularly. Today there are unconventional treatment
methods, which tend to replace conventional, classical treatments. The
laser is part ofthese unconventional, special methods, allowing the
detectionof dental caries (DIAGNOdent, laserspectroscopy), the
detection of the earliest stage of demineralisation, as well as the
assessment of the carious lesion development in the
enameland/ordentine (cavitary lesions). The detection allows the
orientation of therapy towards minimally invasivemethods. Ifinvasive
therapeutic interventionis necessary, the laser enables the ablationof
the dentalhard tissuesaffected bycarieswithout painand
withoutvibration, at high speedand with high precision. Lasers are also
employed in enhancing theenamel resistance to
demineralisationprocesses, procedure performed following precise
protocols. Thus, technological progresshas made possible for
suchergonomic, simplified andpainless methods to be employed in
detecting, preventing and treating dental caries. However, special
attention should be paid to the risk sand precautions that are necessary
inthe dental office during such procedures.

Abstract: Dentinal hypersensitivity is a condition that has affected
more and more people, irrespective of gender and age. In this paper
we try to explain the dentinal hypersensitivity morphophysiological
substrate and production mechanisms. There are many and varied
treatment methods employed in the case of this condition, and they
can be applied by the patient at home or by the dental practitioner in
the dental office. Various techniques and active principles are used,
after the stages of the treatment have been precisely established. Out
of the substances and active principles used in treatment, we present
the toothpaste containing K
+
as KCl. Many studies conducted to
demonstrate its effectiveness have shown that after 8 weeks of
brushing using this toothpaste, dentinal hypersensitivity is
significantly reduced and the patient comfort is enhanced. In this
paper we try to explain the mechanism by which K
+
produces
significant reduction in dentinal hypersensitivity.

Abstract: The object of this study is the treatment of local aspects
related to the design of special systems used in overdenture,
especially the method where the functional parameters of such a
system can be determined. Testing several constructive versions with
relatively low cost is possible using modern methods of numerical
simulation. By using these methods the design is carried out in a
virtual environment and the high costs that are involved in
prototypes testing and carrying out are eliminated. Designing by
means of the finite element method for the spherical blunt-elliptical
matrix in total mandibular implant overdenture has been used. The
numerical simulation has fairly surprised the phenomenon because
the value of the retention force and its variation in time are close to
the data showed in catalogues. The analysis demonstrated that at the

Abstract : A few years ago, the world was faced once again with the
economic crisis, according to many, similar to that in 30-ies of last
century. Firstly, it emerged in the most developed economies, and
then it spilled over, with the greater or lesser intensity, to the other
countries on the planet. Western Balkan economies have been facing
a crisis for more than two decades, specifically since the 90-ies. The
reasons for this are, first of all, political events such as the collapse
of former Yugoslavia, inter-ethnic wars, UN sanctions, border
disputes, etc. It required a lot of time, effort and hard work, and,
above all, the political climate, for economic stabilization and
recover of new countries. Some progress achieved in the meantime,
was stopped by the first wave of the crisis in 2008. Today, the
Western Balkan region is, certainly, economically the least
developed territory in Europe.

for risk analysis and management of individual technical system can
generate potential overall efficiency and effectiveness. Special
importance for the realization of the objectives of the company
belongs to the ranking organization, redesign, system harmonization
between the various technical structure, standardization, technical
diagnostics, analysis of different levels of criticality with variant
selection and application of optimal solutions. Question rational
configuration of analytical and methodological approach to risk
management is becoming more topical. The potential for the
destruction of the complex technical systems are a reality in the
mining industry and their expression in various applications is a
realistic and often. The overall state of the products of such great
damage, and different levels of scale, causing huge financial losses
to the company. Progress in the context of possible changes in a
systematic approach to risk management using modern standardized
methods, models and systems development, their practical
implementation, verification and validation. In practice, it is also
possible in the analysis meets both. For different aspects of the
analysis it is possible to decrease risk index range from the threshold
to the range of high and low threshold of moderate and acceptable
risk. Application of FMECA (Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality
Analysis) methods to manage risk related to the initial phase of
defining the prediction of all possible risks, risk factors RPN budget
priorities. Some risks can be grouped according to the type of errors
that occur due to their realization. For effective risk analysis and
implement measures to reduce their need is and competent team. No
matter what the risks involved, FMECA method can reliably estimate
the possibility of their implementation with a satisfactory degree of
flexibility and compatibility. This paper presents a part of
experiential practicum for a concrete example of implementation

Abstract: There are numerous static systems when it comes to
classic roof constructions. In most common cases for making of
load-bearing wooden constructions are applied the stools and
hangers. What was present in so far designing practice, as well as in
technical literature, when it concerns to these constructions, was that
in calculation process they were treated just as the final completing
design is doing in statical sense. There were not taken into
consideration the static systems through which are passing some
constructive elements of load-bearing wooden construction - stage of
work of the constructive element from its mounting until the whole
construction is not going to be formed, respectively the foreseeble
static scheme. In the study was provided an example of performed
double hangers, also were given shortcomings of previous access in
calculation of this constructive system and suggestions for future
calculations of hangers. There were proposed the stages of work of
constructive elements of the double hangers, so that the final impacts
of the elements are obtained by superposition of individual impacts
by stages of work, depending on the performance of technologies.
For presented and load-bearing construction hangers are used two
materials: steel and wood. From steel is made a tie rod while the
other constructive elements of hangers are made of massive wood.

FDI brings new technologies and know-how, influencing national
economys changes.
Since we are witnessing a new program in the form of subventions to
attract FDI, it is important to analyze the influence of FDI realized
so far on economic growth. This Paper will use the existing
methodology for assessing FDI impact on national economy,
developed in the last 20 years during FDI expansion. The results will
be useful in making certain conclusions about the correlation
between FDI and GDP growth rates.

Abstract: The paper deals with the challenges, problems, and
opportunities for economic analysis emerging from the social and
economic influence of the controversial phenomenon called digital
divide. The importance of the information and communication
technologies (ICTs) for the Information Society (IS) development has
been analyzed in the context of the revised Lisbon Agenda priorities
stating that i2010 Lisbon strategy has been launched as a
continuation of its previous initiatives to support creation of an open
and competitive single market for converging ICT and media through
regulation, to increase EU investment in ICT research and to
promote an inclusive EU IS closing the gap between the IS haves
and have-nots, respectively. In that context, the digital divide serves
as a prime example of the need for introducing multidisciplinary
approaches with a specific need for an effective measuring
instrument, a composite indicator Digital Divide Index (DIDIX) to
systematically monitor the reached level of the IS development on an
aggregate level focusing on the presumably disadvantaged groups of
society.

Key words: EAF slag, chromium, melting, leaching
Abstract: In order to study the influences of Mn oxides on Cr in
Electronic Arc Furnace (EAF) slag produced in a stainless
steelmaking plant. To simulate EAF slags, two synthetic slags (slag A
and slag B) were prepared through melting the two groups of
reagent-grade compounds, respectively. The phase composition of
samples was characterized by means of XRD. In addition, the slags
with different particle size and some mixture were leached following
Europe standard procedure. There was only one main compound
MgCr2O4 found in spinel phase in slag A. While there were two
compounds MgCr2O4 and Mn2AlO4 co-existed in spinel phase in slag
B, in which Mn and Cr occupy the octahehral sites. For leaching
tests, the influence of different factors, such as slag types, slag
particles size, mixed manganese oxides, were studied in detail. The
leaching result shows that MnO2 melted in slag is the most important
factor for improving Cr leaching. But Mn oxides mixed in Mn-free
slag have a little influence on Cr leaching

experience of using virtual environments for collaborative distance
learning. Proposed laboratory applies the project-based learning
methodology that engages students into integrating forensic theory
with practice. The analysis of laboratory use, together with the
observed fact that students tend to spend much time in Virtual Reality
(VR), justify the choices taken in development of DF-lab and
orientation towards integrating virtual environment with reality. The
proposed model is designed to address the limitations of existing
virtual laboratories or simulators used as a part in distance learning
practice, as evidenced by qualitative and quantitative evaluations
given at the end of this research. Efficiency is measured by
comparing the students final results, presented in virtual and real
labs. Quality is improved through student interactions, suggestions,
and the pedagogical diagnosis of the students' behaviors.

Abstract: Expansive growth of the pharmaceutical market has
resulted in the need for a greater safety of medicines which pass
through the supply chain. Supply chains of medicines which require
special temperature conditions of storage and transportation take a
prominent place. Systematic approach to the preservation of the
qualitative properties of thermally unstable products along the
supply chain, from the producer to the end user, includes cold chain.
Automatic identification technologies have found a wide area of
application in the supply chains of medicines and medical
accessories. Through their media, they provide a key level of
supplies transparency throughout the supply chain. The defence
system of the Republic of Serbia which has limited resources should
optimise its supply chains and adjust them to the needs of its users in
order to improve its operational efficiency.

NORMATIVE - LEGAL PROTECTION OF WATER

Key words: Water Framework Directive of the European Parliament
and the Council (2000/60/EC), Water Protection and Preservation in
the EU and RS, Right to Healthy Environment, National Water
Legislation.
Abstract: Water Framework Directive belongs to the basic EU
legislation; it regulates water protection and preservation in Europe
and ensures its long-term quality use through precisely determined
standards that member states must reach by the set deadlines. The
Directive applies to surface, transitional, coastal and ground waters.
Water protection in the Republic of Serbia is legally regulated by
means of the Law on Environmental Protection and the Law on
Waters. The Law on Environmental Protection prescribes the
adoption of the National strategy for sustainable management of
natural resources and domains and of the National program of
environmental protection as basic strategic documents. This law
introduces the category of special state interest area in the field of
environmental protection. The Government is the competent
authority which establishes the criteria and identifies the area of
special state interest in the domain of environmental protection and
determines the amount and manner of payment of the compensation
for environmental pollution in these areas. The Law on Waters
regulates the legal status of waters, integrated water management,
management of water objects and land, sources and the manner of
financing water management as well as other issues pertaining to
water management. The existing legislation should represent a
foundation for further legal work in the field, in order to ensure
water quality, water management, irrigation and drought
management. Harmonization of the legislation of the Republic of
Serbia with the legislation of the European Union, which primarily
concerns more intense environmental protection, is developing in the
direction of conforming to the understanding of water as a strategic
resource in Europe.

.........................................................................................................134
Key words: Rice, Price, International, China, market
Abstract: This paper aimed to make an empirical understanding on
relationship between domestic and international rice markets on
price volatility and their transmission effect by using error
correction model and vector autoregressive model. The study carried
out by using monthly data from February 2006 to March 2011. The
results showed that the long term fluctuation of domestic rice price is
mostly caused by inflation. In the short term, the variability of world
rice price is the Granger cause of domestic rice fluctuation. When
domestic rice price departs from equilibrium price by suffering some
distraction then it will converge towards equilibrium state by an
opposite force. World rice price affects domestic rice price through
foreign trade and futures way has a more prominent transmission
effect to domestic rice price.

Abstract: This study aims to estimate technical efficiency and scale
efficiency of rice farm in Bangladesh using the computer program
FRONTIER 2.1. Estimation is carried out by detailed primary data
collected for 100 rice farms in 11 villages. Variation in technical
efficiency also explained by some managerial and farm
characteristics. The result revealed that the mean technical efficiency
0.77, suggest that farmers have the opportunities to increase the
output or decreases the inputs, given the existing technology and
resource in the study areas and majority of farm are operation on
decreasing returns to scale. Moreover, the farmer who have contact
with agricultural extension workers and more managerial experience
and concern for maintaining the environment are associated with
higher level of technical efficiency while increasing farm size and
education negatively influence the technical efficiency. Empirical
findings suggest that policy should be taken to improve farmers
education level and strengthen the extension service and farmers
training program to increase the technical efficiency.

Key words: EAF steelmaking slag, heavy metals, fluorine, chemical
speciation, leachability
Abstract: The leachability and speciation of heavy metals and
fluorine in the EAF steelmaking slags were studied. The results show
that most abundant elements in EAF stainless steel (SS) slag are Si,
Mg and Ca, while the main components of EAF carbon steel (CS)
slag is silicon, iron, magnesium and calcium oxides. The contents of
heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Hg and Ni) in these slags are less than
0.4 %. The major minerals of EAF slags are slicates. The F-bearing
phases and Ca3TiFe2O8 are also found in EAF SS slag, while
Ca2Fe2O5 is present in EAF CS slag. The leachable elements (Cr, Cu,
Cd, Pb, Zn, Ni and F) are lower than the relative national limits in the
HJ/T299-2007 test and TCLP test, separately. Only the leachable Hg
content is higher than the regulative value in the HJ/T299-2007 test,
which shows that these EAF slags are harmful solid wastes.
Moreover, most of Cr, Hg, Ni and F are present in the matrix of EAF
SS slag, and hard to mobile, while Zn is mainly associated to organic
matter and sulfides, or bound to spinel group minerals and silicates.
In the EAF CS slag, most of the heavy metals are bound to spinel
group minerals and silicates.

Abstract: The paper presents an original approach to
ranking/clustering of standardized subfields presented on examples
of innovation trends in metallurgy. A multi-criteria statistical
analysis of knowledge database units was applied in the paper. A
number of objectives have been realized on innovation pathways,
both globally (ISO) and locally (SRPS standard designation in
Serbia), and initial hypotheses in PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act)
methodology have been confirmed. Based on standardized quantities
and values of knowledge database units, ranking/clustering indices
were checked within standardized metallurgy subfields. Web-
applications for analysis and singling out of samples from the entire
Web-population (local (SRPS) and global (ISO) standardization)
served as software support to statistical methodology. Original
regression equations with accompanying indices of quantity,
knowledge database values and ranking, given on examples within
the field of metallurgy were developed. Study results aim at a more
sensitive ranking of all classified fields of human endeavor, from the
standpoint of innovation frequency..

Key words: Framework, e-Tourism, Development, Libya
Abstract: Libya has competitive advantages such as location in
North Africa and Southern Europe, its climate is mild most of the
year, and it has got long beach about 2000 km, archaeology,
mountains and deserts. All of these have been neglected because
Libya relayed on oil as a major source of GDP to finance the public
treasury and this led to a lack of revenue from other sectors as
sources of finance specially the tourism sector. The efforts to
promote tourism and especially e-tourism is not sufficient because
the tourism industry faces enormous challenges, mostly related to the
lack of a clear strategy for tourism development, the results of war in
Libya and the dramatic changes in the Libyan foreign policy and an
unemployment of 13%. This article studies the challenges facing
Libya in the tourism sector and proposing the workable model to
overcome them. Framework for e-tourism development to enable
Libya to be an international tourist destination, as the first choice for
tourists and investors in the region, has also been given. The article
concludes that despite of Libyan tourism advantages there are major
issues such as how to provide appropriate prices, high quality
products, integrated programs for tour operators, access to
international tourism media, branding, integrated electronic services
and other challenges that should be overcome by integrated program
for the development of e- tourism in Libya.

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to emphasize
importance of effective leadership and corporate governance for
companies and societies, especially under the influence of economic
crisis. Recent researches in global companies point to a strong need
for effective leaders who have a role on development of innovation
and improvements of business models and strategies, as the
economic crisis has caused a crisis of leadership too. In the case of
Serbia, business leadership is still prevailing traditional; hence it is
necessary to modernize leadership and achieve and greater
flexibility. As in the present conditions, the role of corporate
governance is very prominent, for firms in Serbia and in general, it is
crucial to establish good corporate governance practices. Equally as
real sector, public administration should and must find a way to meet
the challenges of contemporary work and business. Our research
points to necessary changes in leadership and governance practice
in both sector in order to achieve better business climate,as well as
more concerns about organizational culture that is more flexible and
in tune with modern business practices.

Abstract: In the present study, the sulfide capacity of refining slag of
high strength steel with effects of temperature and composition was
investigated. Twenty-one samples were analyzed which were taken
from 7 heats at 1843K,1863K and 1883K,respectively, And The
obtained results show that the sulfide capacity was increasing as
temperature increase at 1843K-1883K, which increase more between
1863K-1883K. The value of W(CaO+MgO)/W(SiO2+Al2O3)can truly

Key words: Submerged arc furnace, freeze lining, erosion profile,
boundary element method.
Abstract: Lining of submerged arc furnace is subject to chemical
and physical erosion during smelting process. In this paper, a new
2D mathematical model is developed for monitoring the erosion
profile of freeze lining in submerged arc furnace which is used for
smelting ferronickel. Temperatures monitored by thermocouples at
different positions of refractory are utilized for solving an inverse
heat conduction problem, namely estimating the shape and location
of the wear-line in melting furnace. In order to solve this inverse
problem, the optimization procedure which is used to minimize the
sum of the squared residual between calculated and measured
temperature at different thermocouple locations should be executed
with the aim to enhance computational efficiency. Temperatures at
thermocouples locations are calculated by Boundary Element
Method. Modified simplex optimization method is employed. The
result obtained from numerical experiments indicates that this
algorithm could reduce the computational memory and time, at the
same time improve the computational accuracy.
Furthermore, thermal conductivity of the refractory in freeze lining
may decrease after smelting for a period of time. This is mainly due
to refractories has experienced the high and low temperature cycle
for many times. The accuracy in computation of erosion profile will
be affected either. The influence degree is also discussed in this
paper

Key words: non-oriented electrical steel; intermediate billet
thickness; texture
Abstract: The intermediate billet thickness of 50W1300 cold rolled
non-oriented electrical steel produced by thick slab casting process
in Xinyu Steel has been studied. The results show that: when the
intermediate billet thickness is 38mm, it is helpful to increase
favorable texture and decrease unfavorable texture volume fraction,
which can reduce the core loss and improve the magnetic induction
intensity. This paper summarizes texture characteristics and
evolution law of 50W1300 cold rolled non-oriented electrical steel
produced by thick slab casting process. The texture distribution is
uneven along the thickness direction of hot rolled plate, and the
texture type in center layer is mainly anti-Gauss {100}<110>
component. Texture types of cold rolled plate along thickness
direction are basically the same and they are mainly and fibre
textures. From cold rolling to the final recrystallization annealing,
the texture intensity decreases gradually. Texture types in annealed
sheet are mainly fibre textures which mainly gather in
{111}<112>.

Abstract: Production and processing of fruit is a profitable activity
because of favorable conditions for the majority of the continental
fruits and growing demand in domestic and international markets.
Commercial systems for fruit are among the most complex food
production systems that must meet a series of technical,
technological, hygienic, economic and other conditions. Serbia
operates a relatively large number of companies whose main activity
is production and processing of fruits. In the present conditions that
are characterized by unstable production and even greater
oscillations in the market, lack of raw material and financial
resources proper choice of production is coming increasingly to the
fore. Application of modern mathematical and statistical methods is
one way to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of business
systems. The basic idea is to optimize the production quantity is
available and determine the optimal distribution of raw materials
such range of products which will provide the maximum net income.
This paper has been formulated general theoretical and
mathematical model aimed at defining the product structure, which
will provide the largest economic effects of fulfilling all the
conditions (constraints). Comparative analysis of model variants
come to the conclusion that a combination of types and categories of
fruit pulp in the circumstances most favorable for processing.
Confirmed that the type and category of fruit processing influence
the production orientation, range and movement of business results.
Based on the results of the postoptimal analysis enables timely
decision making and the changing structure of production to achieve
the maximum net income.

Abstract: At present, many devices are used to realize non-contact
radiation measurement for pulverized coal combustion flame.
Whenever the body to be controlled behaves as grey body or a body
of known emissivity system, all devices inferring the true temperature
from the body radiation are accurate and reliable. On the other
hand, the emissivity of pulverized coal combustion flame is uncertain
because of the influence of raceway shape, physical chemistry,
working states, temperature and spectral et al, emissivity
compensations need to be done, or else the result will lead to big
deviation. Furthermore, the saturation of the CCD sensor will be
appeared during high temperature measurement process. In this
paper, a real-time bicolor system is more likely to be utilized. For all
other cases, a multi-spectral system of two CCD cameras based on
machine vision has been built and used in pulverized coal
combustion flame measurement and working state monitoring for
blast furnace.

Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to examine the results of a job
satisfaction survey of employees in the Police Service in Slovenia,
compared and analyzed from data collected in surveys conducted in
2002, 2009 and 2012. The analysis focuses on the impact of
demographic characteristics on perceived job satisfaction at
different levels of hierarchy. In a 10-year period the biggest drop in
perceived satisfaction involved the possibility of performing work
autonomously, the promotion system, the relationships among the
staff. Compared to 2002 in 2012 Police employees were more
satisfied with working hours, the leadership style in their
organizational unit and job location. The 2012 analysis showed that
most employees would like to see changes in the reward system and
in working conditions (premises/equipment). Compared to all police
employees, the traffic police employees are the least satisfied in
terms of most facets.

Key words: Digital Forensic, Hacking, Virtual Environment
Abstract: In this work the valuable definition of hacking is implied.
In the context of justified application it is called ethical hacking. For
the use of hacking in digital forensic numerous questions are raised
concerning conditions for ethical acceptance. However, in some
cases of computer crime, system owners consent is not necessary or
it is not realizable. Therefore, it should be a trading between forensic
requirements (secrecy, consistency, authenticity etc.) and real ethical
hacking limits. Ethical hacking methodology is applicable only to the
processes of remote live forensic. The tools for data acquisition can
be used locally or transferred through available network connection.
In the experimental stage of this work, the four virtual machines
(VMs) were used. The hacker distribution Back Track v.5 R3, based
on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx LTS), KDE 4.5 and Gnome 2.30 is
applied to a hybrid active forensic model in virtualized and
simulated investigation scenario, using Windows 7, 32b, and
Windows 7, 64b, and Windows XP, SP3 VMs, connected by a
network switch. The Social Engineering methods are implicitly used
for making a user to somehow start payload file, transferred to
Windows 7 OS. The VM Windows XP, SP3 is used as the forensic
acquisition tool and data become available for the DF investigation
as ordinary files. VMWare Workstation 9 is used for the
virtualization processes.

Abstract: Aiming at uncertainty question of analogous circuits fault
diagnosis in control system, the multi-layer transfer function thought
is applied to the membership function, and a quantum neuron-fuzzy
inference system is produced. this model it uses the quantum
membership function, and by adjustment of quantum interval
indication parameter collection the fuzziness can achieve a very
small value.So the quantum membership function can more
accurately express result after fuzzy processing the indication
parameter, and can quantify the sample structure distribution at
input space. The example simulation and analysis indicated that this
method can more effectively solve the uncertainty problem in the
fault diagnosis process compared with BP network. The QFNIS
improve the fault diagnosis recognition precision greatly, and the
rate of diagnosis accuracy could achieve 100%.

Abstract: In The quality of raw water from the source/accumulation
for water supply in urban area is changing. In many regions the
availability of water in quantity and quality is being affected by
climate change. The main issue is not only physical scarcity of water
but poor management also. Water quality can be controlled by
combined water source protection, applying an adequate technology
of drinking water preparation and optimal management of the
distribution system. Managing water quality is still not receiving
adequate, attention, because it is significantly more complex, difficult
and expensive. The purpose of this study is to explore the
possibilities of applying Integrated Water Resources Management
(IWRM) in Zajecar Municipality and to determine the correlation
between the quality of raw water in the water-pollutant system and
techno-economic indicators in the production and distribution of
drinking water from source to tap (respect for the principles of
traceability). The study used methods characteristic of the natural,
social and economic science - a method of comparison and statistical
analysis due to the availability of a large number of relevant data in
real time (data collection, analysis and comparison of the raw water
quality parameters over the last decade)

methodology. Most importantly, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
technique is presented and then applied to the wide range of the EU
and OECD countries to evaluate technical efficiency within the
selected education sector in 1999-2008 period. The empirical results
show that within a selected group of EU-member states Denmark,
Hungary and Portugal are seen as most efficient in primary
education sector. In addition, some countries come very close to the
frontier (e.g. Czech R. and Italy), while the other countries are
further away and therefore less efficient (e.g. Turkey). On the other

EDUCATION OF TODAYS ECONOMISTS
Aleksandar KEELJEVI
.........................................................................................................304
Key words: education, debate, neoclassical paradigm,
methodological normativism, pluralism, holism
Abstract: The author argues in his study that classroom debate as
an educational method is a highly efficient method for promoting
more pluralism and holism in education of todays economists in
order to better understand real economy and to resolve todays
emerging and persisting problems. Neoclassical school has
consolidated its monopoly position within economics and in the
broad framework of social sciences mainly through the education
process by dictating strict methodological rules. Consequently, the
economic theory lost the capacity of an anthropocentric view of the
world due to the conflict between the domination of the neoclassical
paradigm and the lack of pluralism within economics and beyond it.
Education is thus on one hand the main factor of domination and
social irrelevance of the neoclassical paradigm, and on the other
hand it can become though the debate as an educational method one
of the main potential vehicle for introducing more pluralism and
holism to economics.

has been more and more focused on improvement of their
tribological and mechanical properties. One of the means for
improvement of mechanical and tribological properties of these
materials could be dispersive reinforcement of matrix alloy by steel
particles.
This paper presents results obtained by testing tribological and
mechanical properties of laboratory composite consisting of matrix
based on CuZn37 (MS 63) alloy reinforced by steel powder particles
with prescribed characteristics chemical composition, granulation
and concentration. Obtained results imply that the idea about such a
composite is interesting and that efforts towards finding the optimal
combination of metal matrix composite (MMC), which could be used
for production of friction elements characterized by improved
tribological and mechanical properties, should be continued.

January 2004 and December 2011.The outcomes measured were
extrusion rate, conjunctival dehiscence, socket infection and implant
exposure. Results: Forty-one patients had the hydroxyapatite
implant (coralline Integrated Orbital Implants, USA or synthetic
FCI,France) and forty-seven received non-integrated orbital
implants (23 acrylic and 24 silicone). Five cases of socket infection,
thirteen cases of extrusion and three cases of conjunctival dehiscence
were encountered. Conclusions: There was a higher rate of
conjunctival dehiscence with hydroxyapatite orbital implant but
implant extrusion and socket infection were found in non-integrated
orbital implants.

Key words: Intraocular lens, material, design
Abstract. Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to establish the
importance of the intraocular lens design and material in the
appearence of the PCO.
Material and method: We had studied a group of 1156 eyes,
operated for cataract by phacoemulsification with intraocular lenses
(IOL) implantation. The group was divided in 4 subgroups,
concording the material: group 1 included 350 eyes with rigid
PMMA IOL with an optic diameter of 5.5 mm, a total diameter of
12,5 mm, plano-convex optic; group 2 included 335 eyes with
foldable multifocal and monofocal acrylic hydrofobe IOL (Acrysof)
with an optic diameter of 6 mm, a total diameter of 13 mm;group 3
included 462 eyes with foldable monofocal acrylic hydrophilic IOL (
Akreos MI 60) with an optic diameter of 6 mm, a total diameter of
10,7 mm.
Results: In group 1 with rigid PMMA intraocular lens the incidence
of PCO was 17,45%.In group 2 with foldable multifocal and
monofocal acrylic hydrophobic IOL the incidence of PCO was
2,6%(9 eyes).In group 3 with foldable monofocal acrylic hydrophilic
IOL the incidence of PCO was 7,1%(33 eyes).Comparing the
hydrophilic acrylic IOL and hydrophobic acrylic IOL regarding the
incidence of PCO, our results showed that the incidence was
7,1%(33 eyes) in the hydrophilic acrylic IOL and was 2,6%(9 eyes)in
the hydrophobic acrylic IOL. . P value was 0,00423(<0,05).
Conclusion: The design square edge of the IOL offers a low rate
of posterior capsular opacification. The hydrophobic acrylic
material has a lower rate of posterior capsular opacification
comparing with the hydrophilic acrylic material

HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT SCIENCE-BASED
DECISION MAKING

Key words: Health Technology Assessment, policy, cost, efficient,
health care
Abstract: In an era of increasing cost pressures, restructuring
health care delivery system and payment, and continued inadequate
access to care many people around the world, technology remains
the substance of health care. Taking into account the critical role
technology has in the modern society and especially its potential for
unintended, and sometimes harmful, consequences, there occurred
the need for introducing the concept of Health Technology
Assessment (HTA). HTA is an important part of evidence-based
health decision-making and it is a way of assessing the ways in
which science and technology are used in healthcare and disease
prevention. It covers medical, social, economic, and ethical issues
and provides policy-makers with objective information, so they can
formulate health policies that are safe, effective, patient-focused and
cost-effective. Diagnostic and treatment methods, medical
equipment, pharmaceuticals, rehabilitation and prevention methods,
and also organizational and support systems used to deliver
healthcare are some of the examples of Health Technologies. The
growing diffusion of new health technologies has led to remarkable
improvements in health and implicitly, in the quality of life of
patients. Within the last 30 years, many European countries
established HTA agencies responsible for informing, sharing and
supporting the effective understanding and implementing the HTA
process. The most important HTA organizations are: EUnetHTA and
INAHTA serving as a forum for health policy-makers and
professionals worldwide. Romania, as well, has understood the need
and importance for introducing the concept of health technology
assessment by establishing a structure within the Ministry of Health,
which will assess the pharmacoeconomic and social impact of new
medical products and technologies.

THE IN TIME RELIABILITY OF THE AMALGAM
OBTURATIONS AND OF COMPOSITE DIACRYLIC RESINS
(RDC)

Key words: composites, reliability, period of obturation replacement
Abstract. One of the main manoeuvres executed in the dental
cabinet is that of replacing the old un-functional restorations. The
functionality loss of an obturation is in modifications that alter the
physiognomic aspect or the protection of the dental substance to
external microbial attack. The work intends to analyze the main
causes leading to dental restorations and to allow the longest
prognosis to be made for the intervention. Arguments are emitted for
the obturations replacement. There are conclusions regardng the
oportunity to replace an obturation apparently functional but
morally overdone. One of the aspects we insist on is the one
concerning the initial plan of treatment as for the opportunity to
apply restoration materials in different clinic situations. A four years
study was undertaken to notice the primary cause of the failure, as
well as the secondary causes leading to the obturations
replacement. We took into consideration the damaged area frontal
or side area. We reached to the conclusion that the reliability of a
restoration is not only a matter of material quality, being influenced
by other factors as; type of obturation, age of the patient and even
the quality of the medical act and of the dentists skills.

ASPECTS OF POLYMERIZATION DEEPNESS IN THE
CASE OF PHOTOPOLYMERISABLE COMPOSITES USED
IN DENTAL MEDICINE

Key words: composites, photopolymerization, thickness of
composite material
Abstract: The work intends to verify the efficiency of
photopolymerizable composites polymerization, correlated to
illumination time and material layer thickness. Four types of
photopolymerizable composites resins are being studied in visible
domain. The photopolymerization of the composite materials is done
with a Helio-test mould, especially designed for this purpose by
Vivadent. The determination itself is done through gravimetric
method. Initially the material mass is determined through weighing
with an analytic scales, after which the non photopolymerizable part
is dissolved and what was left unsolved in the organic solvent is re-
weighted. It is proposed a way to calculate the photopolymerization
efficiency, taking into account the report of the so measured masses.
Conclusions are emitted concerning illumination time influence, the
photopolymerizable material thickness. It is presented a methodology
offering the dentist the possibility to check, for each type of
photopolymerizable composite, the illumination time necessary to
obtain the most efficient polymerization of some composite layers of
different thicknesses.

AMERICAN COMPANIES SHOW MORE INTEREST IN RECYCLABLE SEALANTS THAT
SOLVE POROSITY IN CASTING
Ultraseal America Inc. gets good response from visitors at NADCA

Diecasters in America are showing more interest in using recyclable sealants such as Rexeal 100 to
solve the eternal problem of porosity in casting, as revealed by visitors to the North American Die
Casting Association Congress and Exposition (NADCA).

Ultraseal America Inc., the global leader in impregnation sealants and associated equipment, received
a lot of enquiries about its global benchmark recyclable sealants when it exhibited at NADCA this fall.

Visitors to Ultraseals booth were particularly interested in the environmental and cost benefits:
recyclable sealants use far less chemicals and produce significantly less waste water than non-
recycling sealants.

In a traditional sealant impregnation process up to 95% of the sealant is simply washed away after the
first stage with the waste water: in contrast recyclable sealants such as Rexeal 100 are recovered and
returned for immediate re-use.

Bob Remler, Vice President, Ultraseal America Inc., said: We are delighted with the response to our
recyclable sealants at NADCA there has been a sea change in customers approach.

While conventional sealants have long been popular in America it is clear that interest in recyclable
sealants is growing as more and more companies recognize the economic and environmental benefits.

They can save money and reduce their impact on the environment while at the same time not
compromising on quality: Rexeal 100 the global benchmark for recyclable sealants meets US Military
specification US-MIL-I-17563C (Class 1 and 3).

This years NADCA exhibition and congress was held separately from the American Foundry
Societys annual event. Automotive OEMs and large Tier 1 suppliers were prominent among the
visitors to the show.
